Great communication with Coleb to organize our Gorilla trekking in Uganda.
He answered all our questions and everything went good from the beginning to the end of this tour. Our guide Brian was very kind and knowledgeable.

Excellent
My experience was great and really worth the price. The communication with Coleb was perfect. He answered every question that I had and also went above and beyond to help with the visa process and money exchange. He is such a kind and professional person. The day of the game drive also went really smoothly. The guide and driver were really professional and kind. Lunch was included in the price and it was fantastic. The lodge where we had our lunch was beautiful. We were two females traveling at the end of October and every part of the experience was great. I recommend this company to everyone
Best Safari In Uganda
I had the most incredible safari experience with Standard Safaris in Uganda! From the very start, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region and wildlife. Every aspect of the tour was meticulously organized, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free.
Our guide was outstanding, passionate about Uganda’s wildlife and conservation efforts, and had an incredible eye for spotting animals even in the most hidden places. Thanks to him, we saw the famous Big Five and so much more, including breathtaking landscapes that left us speechless.
The accommodations arranged were comfortable and charming, providing the perfect blend of comfort and a true wilderness experience. I felt safe and well cared for throughout the trip. Standard Safaris went above and beyond to ensure our group had a personalized and memorable experience.
I would highly recommend Standard Safaris to anyone looking to explore Uganda’s beautiful parks and wildlife. I can’t wait to book my next adventure with them!

7-day trip to Uganda & Kenya
We recently had an unforgettable trip to Uganda's Bwindi National Park for gorilla trekking and Kenya's Masai Mara National Park, and we owe it all to our fantastic tour operator, Coleb. From start to finish, Coleb was incredibly patient in understanding our needs and went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. He provided excellent recommendations that were perfectly tailored to our preferences, ensuring every part of our trip was exactly what we hoped for.
The accommodations he arranged were fantastic, and he efficiently managed any contingencies that arose with the local team in Kenya, ensuring everything went smoothly. Special thanks to our guide Brian from Standard Safaris for the Uganda leg of the trip. Coleb was always available during our trip, consistently communicating with our guides and enhancing our overall experience.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better-organized trip. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a seamless and enriching travel adventure!

Very professional organization
Everything went very well ! Standard safari is a very professional and reliable company.
They are very reactive and flexible: sending quotes very quickly and adjust to a last minute change of plan.
They organized my pick up in Kigali, then a gorilla trek in Bwindi and dropped me to my next destination.
The trip was well prepared and everything went very smoothly.
The only issue I had was for the money transfer: my trip almost got canceled because the money was not credited on time on the company’s account due to network issues with their bank. Though it’s more the responsibility of the bank, it’s me who called the bank to try to figure out the issue …
Besides that, everything went really well and I would definitely recommend Standard Safari!

A delightful experience with gorillas
We had a great time with Standard Safaris. From start to finish, we were very satisfied with the responsiveness and organization of our trip. Coleb, the owner, crafted a fabulous plan for our 3-day/2-night private tour to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to track gorillas, followed by a leisurely evening at Lake Bunyonyi—the third deepest lake in the world. Everything was clearly laid out, and communication was always prompt and effective.
Yonah, our guide for the 3-day trip, was knowledgeable, kind, and always attentive to our needs. His years of experience were evident—he knew all the best spots, expertly scheduled our days, and made our experience truly phenomenal.
Seeing gorillas in their natural habitat was the experience of a lifetime. We were fortunate—our tracking took only about two hours, giving us a full hour with the Bweza family. Our Bwindi ranger was delightful, with years of experience in the forest. She shared everything about gorillas—their habits, life, and so much more.
Lake Bunyonyi was another highlight. Our trip included a 1.5-hour boat tour on the lake with a local guide, who seemed like a local celebrity—his grandmother survived the punishment island on the lake. He’s also a community organizer and developer, running educational programs for the local population. In the evening, we took a plunge in the river and enjoyed phenomenal views from our lodge.
Overall, we highly recommend Standard Safaris for trips in Uganda. They exceeded our expectations, and we absolutely loved our experience!

Let them do its best..to show you around!
We had a great 13 days safaries with Standard Safaries. Overland we have been driving 2100 km! Without a single problem. Standard Safaries gave its best; colourfull, adventures, great sceneary, best of Africa. Started from Lake Victoria over Murchison falls, Kabale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi - and its gorillas - overland to Rwanda, Vulcanoes and Kigali, just to mention its corner points.. Apart from the gorillas, Merchison Falls really worth the visit, it is magnificent.
The crater lakes area are just die for… And the hills of Bwindi area its really its best. The impenetrable forest even without the gorillas are something extraordenary.
Many thanks for Coleb and the extraordinary driver guides: Chris, Brian, Jhonna and Goodwill!
Being an Africa expert, I must say, Uganda is still “unspoiled” by the mass tourism therefore its people are still clean and honest even if they do it for money still doing it with theirs full heart. Go there, enjoy, relax, let Standard Safaries show you around.
